    If you want to get admission in IIM, then it is necessary for you to appear in the exam of CAT. There is no other option for getting admission.

    Hello!
    I would say look for other options. You need to worry, if you haven't written CAT exam, you can still apply for MBA at LPU. The Eligibility for MBA is Pass with 55% aggregate marks in Bachelors degree (any discipline) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPU NEST or CAT or XAT or MAT or CMAT or NMAT and Interview. Due to COVID-19, LPUNEST-Test is also exempted and you just need to appear and qualify LPUNEST-interview. I had gone through the same phase, as I was just like you and haven't appeared for CAT I applied for LPU NEST and then got admission in LPU. MBA is a well-known programme at Lovely Professional University. The cour

    No, to be able to get admission to IIM-K, the candidate must have appeared for CAT. Iims only accept CAT scores. Iims do not accept scores of other entrance exams or provide direct admissions.
  • If you are not appearing for the CAT exam, there are still a few options available for pursuing an MBA or PGDM programme from an IIM:
    Other Entrance Exams: Some Iims accept scores from other management entrance exams such as XAT MAT GMAT or CMAT. You can appear for these exams and apply for admission to the Iims that accept these scores. Management Development Programs: Iims offer several Management Development Programs (MDPs) that are designed for working professionals. These programs are shorter in duration and offer specialised knowledge and skills in specific areas. You can consider enrolling in an MDP to enhance your skills and imp

    Hi. Akash. There isn't any other option to get into Iims; you must pass the CAT. Still if your are willing to pursue your career in MBA/PGDM. I would say there some best B-School in India who accept many other management exam score card along with 50% marks in graduation. Among that GIBS B-School Bangalore is the name for.
